And it clearly shows your problem:

Fix the above, and it should work.
----I changed both monitors to be 1024x768 on Display Settings. The 1st
monitor has always been 1024x768 and I changed the 2nd monitor from
1280x1024 to 1024x768. This did not help. Before I patched to SP2 they
were at 1024x768 and 1280x768. Both monitors are "Highest (32 bit" for
Color quality and they are both "ATI Mobility Radeon 7500", IBM T41
laptop. I still see the error message in above in Xwin.log. I don't see
any other settings on Display Properties. So SP2 must of changed
something.....

Thanks.

That's normal. Most Cygwin directories can be mounted from anywhere
without much problem (the exceptions are system directories like
/usr/bin, /usr/lib, /etc, and so on).
---- I don't want this mounted. Do you know where I can comment this
out? I don't see it in startxwin.bat.
